This Uncrate staffer has been missing his old Jeep (a yellow '98 Wrangler) a lot lately. So this couldn’t have had a more cheerful effect: the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon ($TBD) that debuted at the North American International Auto Show. It features a ton of stuff — iPod integration, increased ground clearance, larger wheels and tires, enhanced Dana front and rear solid axles, a new three-piece modular hardtop and Sunrider soft top, a new 3.8-liter V-6 engine with 205 horsepower and 240 lb.-ft. of torque, better safety systems, power windows and door locks, a full-screen navigation system, a 368-watt Alpine stereo, and SIRIUS Satellite Radio. Whew — you just know this thing is gonna kick all kinds of ass.

We refuse to buy a huge SUV that sucks the gas and handles like a Radio Flyer. And until now, the options out there for a smaller SUV didn't do much for us. The all-new 2006 RAV4 (starting at $20,300) looks to be the answer. It has a larger body with 40% more cargo space than the previous model, and it's more responsive and bunches more stylish. As a bonus, the new RAV gets 24 MPG around town and 30 on the highway — crazy for something that can actually haul a good bit of stuff.

Even though there will always be people to buy big SUVs, we feel a bit sorry for Jeep for coming out with the Commander (starting at $28,200) right now with the crazy price of gas. Nevertheless, it's one tough hombre that we wouldn't mind having. In addition to a rugged exterior, it features 3-row stadium seating, dual skylights, a 5.7 HEMI V8, and Quadra-Drive II 4-wheel drive. The Commander also offers 3-zone climate control, available GPS navigation, DVD system, and the ability to go just about anywhere.

Winter is coming and it's time to prepare for hibernation. Huddle by the fire, drink hot coco, and think of how amazing it would be to be cozied up in bed — unless of course your bed is old, lumpy, and past its prime. This is where Leesa comes in. Just place your order online instead of trying to track down the right mattress with the masses during the holiday rush. Leesa ships your mattress to your door for free compressed in a box. Made in America, each mattress features 3 premium foam layers for a cooling bounce and comfort that contours to your body. And in the spirit of giving, they'll donate one mattress for every ten sold.

With a timeless design that remains as rugged as it is fashionable, the G. H. Bass & Co. Duclair Duck Boot makes for a versatile addition to your wardrobe. The rubber outsole is joined by another strip of rubber running around the bottom to help keep out water, snow, and muck, while the rest of the upper consists of durable genuine leather. It's finished with metal eyelets, leather laces, canvas lining, and a fleece sock for added warmth. Available in two colorways: dark Chestnut and lighter Cognac.

Although the Element has been around for a while, Honda just wised up this year and decided to actually paint the entire vehicle (yeah, what a concept). The new EX-P Models (starting at $20,125) are the first Elements to come with painted body panels and body-colored door handles, something potential buyers have been complaining about since the SUV debuted. Like previous Elements, the new models have tons of cargo room, a versatile interior, available 4 wheel drive, and an ample 156-hp i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine. The Element is perfect for any weekend trek, and can haul just about anything you'll ever buy at the mall.

Trucks have always been known for their utility, but only recently have we seen a push for performance in these beasts — and when it comes to performance, this truck is the tops. The Dodge Ram SRT-10 (starting at $47,000) boasts an engine stolen from a Dodge family member — specifically the 8.3 liter V-10 from the Viper that produces 500 horsepower and propels the SRT-10 from 0-60 in just a hair over 5 seconds. Other niceties include 22-inch wheels, a six-speed manual transmission with Hurst shifter, and an aluminum cover with a fixed spoiler. Haul people, haul cargo, or just haul ass.
